I found it interesting as they discussed their early influences, Procol Harum, Family, Fairport Convention, and the 1st King Crimson album. The best part was this comment from Mike Rutherford

MR: A few years ago, I took my sons to the Albert Hall to see (Genesis tribute act) The Musical Box. They were doing “Selling England By The Pound”, with the set and everything. My son turned to me and said: “Dad, you guys were weird.”

great find! How could Tony Stratton Smith be disappointed with Nursery Cryme? I also like how Tony had to clarify they started writing Trespass BEFORE In the Court came out

Weird for sure.......but completely awesome nonetheless. It's a shame that people are too jaded to appreciate just how radical and interesting that was back then (I wasn't there, but that's how it struck me when I first became aware of the "good" Genesis, as I thought of the prog years when I first heard those albums).

us 80s kids had that weird discover that gabriel and genesis were actually cool the decade before.

Not surprising to hear of the ignorance as a classic rock stating doing a history of prog show, felt it was perfect to play tunes from Queen and their Flash Gordon sound track, Genesis' Mama and the Beatles at the end of the show.

I was always bummed that I didn't start going to concerts until '76 so never got to see "The Lamb"...my 1st Genesis show was the W&W tour '77. Among my circle of prog fans, the PG fronted theatrical Genesis shows were always spoken of in hushed, reverential tones...we all considered them (along with the Tales and Passion Play tours) as the ultimate live prog experience

I'm still pissed that nobody at Charisma or Atlantic records ever thought to videotape a complete performance of The Lamb
